Course Overview

The Diploma in Luxury Hospitality Management develops your understanding of luxury hospitality management inside a luxury hospitality setting, delivered by the London School of International Luxury Hospitality & Hotel Management (LSILHHM), a division of Harold International College of London. The programme runs for approximately 9 to 12 months and is written against UK and international hospitality standards, with reference to bodies such as Forbes Travel Guide (Five-Star Standards), Leading Hotels of the World (LHW) and Institute of Hospitality (IoH), giving you practitioner-level competence to run a shift, deliver a section and coordinate a small team to brand standard. The Diploma in Luxury Hospitality Management sequences its modules so that theory is always tested against the operational realities of a functioning luxury resort.

From the first week, you will study a structured curriculum that connects bespoke concierge to boutique property standards and spa and wellness inside a five-star hotel setting, so when you finish the course, you will be ready to run a shift, brief a small team, maintain brand standards, hit service targets and step into a first supervisory role. Applied exercises across the Diploma in Luxury Hospitality Management draw on the routines and standards used inside UK and international luxury hospitality businesses, so nothing you study feels detached from the industry.

The luxury hospitality sector continues to expand across the UK and internationally, and employers consistently ask for graduates who understand both the service side of the business and the commercial framework that sits behind it. The Diploma in Luxury Hospitality Management responds to that demand by keeping every module close to real operational settings. LSILHHM has built the Diploma in Luxury Hospitality Management to reflect the day-to-day paperwork, systems and service moments that shape a modern luxury resort operation.
